There are generation names in this sect. Each generation will have a shared word in their names. Yun (cloud) is the generation name for Yun Song’s generation. This is also common in modern times where you’ll find a group of siblings sharing the same character in their name.

Translator's Note

As explained above there are generation names in this sect and each generation will have a shared word in their names. Yun is the generation name for Yun Song’s generation; hence he is Yun Song, and Chao is Chao Jun’s generation name, hence he is Chao Jun.

The phrase used here (云超三万里,风过九重天) serves as a mnemonic for the generations order. Since chao(超) goes after yun(云), that means that Chao Jun is Yun Song’s direct disciple.

The phrase could also be read as “The clouds extend a great distance, the winds blow through the vast skies”, since 10000 is a number used a lot in Chinese to indicate incredible vastness. A li is 500 meters or 1,640 feet. The 3 from 30000 and the 9 from ninth heaven are also used to indicate vastness. The Yellow river, for example, is said to be 30000 li long. 9 being the largest digit is considered an important number and there are said to be 9 heavens in Chinese mythology.

This whole line was murder :blobdizzy::blobcry: criticism welcome.

Original: 皎皎月华,清朗无瑕,美目阖兮,玉山崩塌。

The first part 皎皎月华, seems to come from a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Yao He: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yao_He

美目阖兮 is probably from the Book of Poems, meaning beautiful eyes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_of_Poetry kEsdzK

The last part 玉山崩塌 may be a variation of 玉山将崩. In the Three Kingdoms era, the famous writer Ji Kang was tall and good looking. When drunk, he was compared to a falling jade mountain. This phrase is used to describe good looking people but I thought it sounded a bit odd so I changed it.

  1. Yet another person begging to be beaten up… sigh (And lmao @ Qingtong’s reaction to MTL’s small moves xD)

    Thanks for the chapter and hope you get well soon! 🙂

  2. Mo Tianliao blocking the others from seeing his master 🤣

    The true standard to accept them in the sect is being a spiritual (demonic?) beast, I guess. I wonder if that’s why everyone is beautiful. No one chose Mo Tianliao at the beginning because he’s something else.

    This chapter was truly funny. Uglies, go away, please 😂

    Thanks for the chapter!

  3. “like building an open latrine in front of the Crystal Palace” hahaha the descriptions of their appearances are so funny

    thanks for translating! hope you feel better soon

  4. Omg Get well soon! Drink plenty of water and eat ample amounts of fruits and vegetables D: Take care nee–

    Lol this chapter’s title is hella right.. yep this sect is exclusively for beauties only ahahahahahaha that was fine 👌👌👌

    Thank you so much for the chapter!!!~ 🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇

  5. Get better soon and thank you for the chapter ❤

    I think there’s another hidden requirement to become a disciple of Woyun sect – apart from being beautiful you also have to be quirky 😂

  6. Open Latrine: …that’s harsh man

    Crystal Palace: …humph. Scratch scratch scratch.

    Thanks for the great translation ♥️

  7. Thank you and take care Alas those who aren’t good looking are doomed in Chinese novels.

  8. Thanks for the chapter!

    Glad you’re feeling better, & sorry you had to be another victim of C Authors’ flowery descriptions sickness… 😅😂

    If it is any consolation, the descriptions are pretty here & so mild compared to some cloying sugar rushes on steroids some poor Translators have had the misfortune to drown in… 🙏 RIP

  9. » If they had picked Chao Jun, it would have been like building an open latrine in front of the Crystal Palace, really… a bit disgusting.« I died looooool

    Thx for the ch and I hope you’re better already :3

  10. You must have gotten quite a headache while translating the chapter. Gr8 job though without notes I doubt I’ll get a single thing!

    Thank you so much for the chapter!(๑´>᎑<)~❤

  11. Hope that mean ole cold is gone and you’re doing better now x3

    Somehow I feel like something happened between them over that last year. When MT saw kitty lord sleeping with white hair, he reached out and when stopped, the hand he pulled back was pulsing with veins ..would anyone have such a strong reaction over a mere change in hair color? I think he knows or suspects that’s Xiaozhao hence why he’s so much more familiar with him and even tried to touch him

  12. Oh my gosh! Mo Tianliao is becoming more daring! I wonder if he found out that his master is his lord kitty xD

  13. maybe mo tianliao has a bit of disadvantage because he just achieved the foundation establishment and has an unstable qi but remember, he beat his da-shixiong couple of times who was already in the third stage, which was clearly stronger than this chao jun

  14. This is probably 2 years after the chapter was posted, but I’d still like to wish you good health.

    These QY sect people should be those from the same sect whit the man who had that soul-devouring flag made by MTL, the man who killed his whole clan so he can forge the flag? 🤔 It shows what kind of people those from that sect are. When they don’t even know the facts, they’re ready to blame others just so they can get some sort of benefits from them. Disgusting people.

  15. ‘like building an open latrine in front of the Crystal Palace, really. ..a bit disgusting’

    pfft’ hahahah dang an ugly person like me won’t be accepted in here too. The Sect didn’t have any uniforms so they look down on them (?) but imagine when this beautiful creators have the same uniforms in every ranks they would look like immortas descending in the mortal world.
